The print coinage of a face time a belongs to  news amp world report which in 1978 wrote that president Carter a drops by the White House press room. Guaranteeing himself a few precious seconds of a face time on the evening to  the use of quotation Marks suggests earlier spoken usage. Three years later the Washington Post wrote that presidential Counselor de Meese came to a Book party a for what is commonly referred to in Washington As  the term was defined As a a handshake a walk around the room and one  the sense of showing ones face to a gathering in person rather than to an audience on television was used in a times article about Cornell University a 1983 hockey season a going to the games is positive face time a it quoted a student saying.

The chinese expression Tiu Lien Means a to lose face a which is the loss of dignity before others a saving face a As in maintaining ones dignity is an English phrase of the late 19th Century modelled on the chinese. So although the two word phrase has been with us for More than a decade its meaning is still fuzzy. Given a Little More usage time it should become Clear. November 11,1990 sunday to plus c Page 17
